Travel Levers
DANGER
When operating such equipment as the boom or guide shell, make sure that the right
and left crawler track shoes are both touching the ground otherwise it might tip the
machine over.
WARNING
If the right and left truck frames are not oscillating during the machine traveling, stop
moving and ask your nearest distributor to check and restore it.
Because the right and left oscillating cylinders work together as a hydraulic linking circuit, the right
and left crawlers oscillate in reverse directions and against each other, according to the unevenness
of the ground. That increases stability when moving over unleveled ground.
The automatic oscillating lock mechanism changes the hydraulic linking circuit (LOCK - OPEN),
automatically linking to the traveling levers and the oscillating switch.
★ For the operation of the oscillating switch, refer to 3.6.2 “Hydraulic Cylinder Control Panel”.
z LOCK
When the travel levers or the oscillating switch is not operated
then the left and right track frames can't be oscillated.
17305002
z OPEN
When traveling, or operating the oscillating lever, oscillation of
the left and right track frames is available. Because the right

This dial is used to adjust the drifter’s feed forward speed during drilling. When the feed speed is
slower than the drilling speed, idle blows tend to occur in the drifter. If idle blows occur in the drifter,
increase the feed speed. When the feed speed is too fast for the drilling speed, hole bend or jamming
may occur if the drill encounters soft rock, fracture zone, or hollow. Adjust the feed forward speed,
paying attention to changes in drilling sound and rotation pressure.
Lock
17308006
17308026
This dial is used to adjust the feed pressure force during drilling. By adjusting the feed pressure force,
such irregularities as hole bend and rod damage are prevented. Generally, when the rock drilled is
hard or large diameter drilling performed, the feed pressure force is increased, and when soft rock is
drilled or small diameter drilling is performed, the feed pressure force is decreased.

NOTICE
Before activating the anti-jamming controller in drilling, reset the anti-jamming control
and adjust the machine for smooth drilling.
★ For adjustment of the anti-jamming controller, refer to the “Adjustment Instruction Manual”
(separate volume).
Generally, in drilling, if the rock is hard the rotation pressure should be set to high and if the rock is
soft it should be set to low.
For efficient drilling, if the rock is soft and the rotation pressure is high, the feed pressure and impact
pressure should be set to low: if the rock is hard and the rotation pressure is low, the feed and impact
pressures should be set to high.
When drilling with the anti-jamming controller on, set the mode selector switch to N mode and the
anti-jamming switch to [III].
Set the guide shell at drilling position while performing impact and rotation, and then turn the control
grip to the regular drilling position.
The rotation, feed, impact and damper pressures are detected and each pressure is controlled so as
to optimize drilling in changing rock quality and rock bed.
Automatic drilling is available by activating the anti-jamming controller.
★ For the anti-jamming switch, refer to 3.7.1 “Control Panel”.
